Happy Birthday

This is a gift I am working on for a wonderful friend of mine. He is a writer so I have filled this journal with lots of blank paper. I just have to finish sewing the signatures in and add a few more embellishments. I hope he likes it :)

Book Binding and Coffee

I woke up this morning ready to create. I am extra tired but trying to push through it to bind these journals. I am binding in signature #12 in the new journal now with a wonderful cup of hot coffee sitting beside me. Now if only I can remember to take a sip between stitches!

Western Steampunk Journal

I am working a bit on this journal right now. It is beautiful! I will try and bind it tomorrow.

Another new journal!

I just finished the covers for this fabulous new journal. I will put it together tomorrow :)

Working hard

More journals!

New journal

I just finished this beautiful nautical themed journal!  Look for it on Etsy in a few days.

New locket

I just finished this beautiful locket. There is so much detail and great vintage elements to it. It would look great tied as a choker with some black lace or on a long chain. I hope you like it!

Life Reevaluated

About 10 days ago I had to undergo emergency surgery. I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy that resulted in some internal bleeding that was just hours away from killing me. I lost a child, as well as my left ovary and fallopian tube. I am physically healing from my surgery just fine but I feel the emotional tole will leave me out of commission for weeks and maybe months to come. Between most of my art being stolen in June, nothing really coming from all the work I put into the fashion shows and now loosing a pregnancy and part of my body, I am feeling a bit lost.

Please send some good karma my way. I am in need of some great thing happening to pull me out of this funk.
